Holography is considered as one of the most remarkable discoveries in modern times. Nevertheless for its first decades it seems to be getting forgotten.

Originally stepped up back at the end of the 1940s to improve electron microscopy, it can not fulfill this function and the wish of its discoverer hungarian-british physicist Dennis Gábor. Due to sources of pure coherent light, which are indispensable for optical holography, being not yet available, not even Gábor himself can locate a field of application for this phenomenon. He can neither recognize at that point of time the meaning and the potential of his discovery and with it the influence this new medium would have on our daily lives one day. Nor can he imagine the plenty of phantasms emerging from this phenomenen. Phantasms, which seem to be mostly one step ahead of applied holography.

With the discovery of laser light at the beginning of the 1960s, for the first time ever it becomes possible to record and reconstruct a real three-dimensional image of an object. What once simply starts as a little rainbow coloured picture of a toy train, today finds its applications in a vast variety of different optical and acoustical fields.

It is as remarkable as the phenomenon of holography itself, that it could never prevail as a popular medium like movie, TV, radio, the internet, print media, etc. Especially when keeping in mind all the phantasmatic stories which emerge from this medium. A lot of dreams, hopes and promises that holography never made by itself, but some of them is trying to keep.

blog.holographie.eu accompanies my scientific work on holography, which would like to give holography an attention, that elsewhere is mostly refused to it. It is of course initially interested in based techniques and technologies of holography and how it works. Moreover it is also interested in these upcoming phantasms and their stories arising from possible abilities of holography. Especially against the backdrop of holography seems to be reaching a point, where its possibilities and abilities catch phantasms.

This blog would like to serve as a sketch book for unprotected ideas, of which some maybe become expanded, while others are not haunted any further, but wants to be told and should not be unmentioned forgotten.

360-degree 3D autostereoscopic display

Recently several devices and technologies have been introduced using a three-dimensional display (3D smartphone,
3D computer display, touchable holography). Actually they are using two-dimensional displays to generate the
illusion of a three-dimensional image. But on this years SIGGRAPH japanese company SONY introduces a 3D display
wrapped in a cylinder that is ten inches tall and has a diameter of five inches. The prototype not just allows to reach
into the display and turn objects, but it also allows to walk around and watch it from all angles.

DarvishP (feat. Megpoid) - Holography (single)

Holography is a japanese anime song by interpreter DarvishP. The track is produced with VOCALOID, which is a technology and application software developed by Yamaha enabling users to synthesize authentic-sounding singing just by typing in lyrics and melody. Sometimes a real human voice is recorded and being used the basis for the synthetic new voice.

Megpoid is the name of one of the voices generated by VOCALOID and is synthesized of the real voice of Megumi Nakaji. She is a seiyū (voice actress) and a singer. For an animated synthetic voice does not have a body, an anime character is created. The mascot of voice Megpoid is GUMI.

GUMI: mascot of voice Megpoid

DarvishP (feat. Megpoid) - Holography


This is supposed to be the english translation:

Silence echoes from the voice of, an unknown source that haunts me.
Fading through time, I go back to that day.

My heart is torn between my,
lust for rays of sunshine
Enclosing myself in everlasting despair

Smeared across this canvas painting such beauty to life
Catching dreams as they fly by
All the little things you notice seem to matter most
The feeling of belonging to you

Everything passes me by like the cold wind
Wishing to release the solitude within my heart
A corrupted world with obscure revenue
How can I break free from this boundless nightmare I suffer from

Day by day, limitless nights which go nowhere
Ascertain the meaning of life we have to at all costs
The sands of time, fade away with such tourment
Weakness descends, under my grasp!

Reminiscing such emotions, intwining souless thoughts that
wander through my mind rendering me helpless...

Retaining relentless feelings, with impure thoughts of carnage
Why is it that I, sense a sudden presence of warmth

Smeared across this canvas, painting such beauty to life
Capture dreams with every stroke
All the little things you notice seem to matter most
Reaching towards my every desire

The answer is ...

All I see passes me by like the cold wind
Wishing to release the solitude within my heart
A corrupted world with such tarnished lies
How can I break free from this boundless nightmare I suffer from

Tomorrow will bring hope for the future I seek
All this frustration soon fades away and slowly disapates
Can you see me? By-and-by with no regret
I will one day, walk my own path

Sharp announces 3D smartphone

Japanese company Sharp announces the international release of a smartphone with a 3D display, that also comes with a 3D capable camera, by the end of 2010.

No glasses are needed to see the three-dimensional illusion that is generated by a technology called parallax barrier system, which has been introduced in April this year. This technology is characterized by vertical slits dividing the light emitted by the display and radiating them into to the left and right eye of the observer. The fundamental principle is the same as lately described in Apple patents glass-free holographic 3D display.




The parallax barrier system technology just works on small displays, because it requires a frontal view, which is mostly given on mobile devices.
